Human reproduction
Reproduction is one of the seven life processes.
All living things reproduce.
Humans use sexual reproduction to produce their young.
In order to do this, the two parents (male and female) have
different reproductive systems and organs that produce
different sex cells.

In males, the sex cells are called sperm.
Sperm are produced in sex organs called testes.

Sex cells – egg
In females, the sex cells are called eggs.
Eggs are produced in sex organs called ovaries.

An egg is so big that this is how
small a sperm looks next to it.

Ovulation and fertilization
In the female, one of the ovaries produces an egg every
28 days. This is called ovulation.
During sexual intercourse millions of sperm are ejaculated
into the vagina.
If a sperm meets the egg, the sperm’s nucleus can join with
the egg’s nucleus.
This fusing of the nuclei is called fertilization.

The placenta
How does an embryo get food and
oxygen and how does it get rid of waste?
An embryo forms a plate-like structure called the placenta.
The umbilical cord joins the fetus to the placenta.
In the placenta, food and oxygen diffuse from the
mother’s blood into the blood of the fetus.
Carbon dioxide and waste products diffuse from
the blood of the fetus to the mother’s blood.

From embryo to fetus
In the earliest stages of development, a
human baby is called an embryo.
After the first eight weeks of pregnancy,
a human embryo is then called a fetus.
At this stage the fetus has all the main
human features.
The fetus continues to develop and grow
inside its mothers’ uterus for a total of
40 weeks.
What happens next?

What is puberty?
Human children are born with a complete set of sex organs.
However, they do not become active until between the ages
of 10 and 18.
In males, the testes start to make sperm in boys and in
females, the ovaries start to release eggs.
This stage of development is called puberty.
During this important period, many changes take place in
the bodies of young men and women.

Menstruation
An important part of puberty for girls is the beginning of
their monthly cycle. This is known as the menstrual cycle.
The menstrual cycle involves the preparation of the uterus
lining so that it is able to receive a fertilized egg.
If an egg is fertilized, it can implant itself in the prepared
uterus lining.
If it is not fertilized, the lining of the uterus breaks down
and is lost from the body. This is called menstruation or
a period.
